The Packing was Done

I was at the hospital until about 3 am last night. And was at my Sister's place before that since the boys wanted to play with their cousin. And with the atrocious traffic from Bangsar to Kajang, it was almost midnight when we reached home. And then in it the phone call. Off i went after dropping Anita and the boys off.

I woke up late this morning - no clinics, just some errands to do. Got my ward work sorted out and it was close to noon when i finally reached hone to pack. Luckily, Anita had already bundled everything in. All that was left was my personal stuffs and gadgets of course.

I decided to bring both my OM-D and GR along to Kota Kinabalu. Hopefully I don't have to be on photography duty because I would only be able to the basics. While there, I hoped I could do a bit of sightseeing and sample the local food. I shall plan that after checking into my room tonight.

So, I have just left KL Sentral, now on the train to the airport after having a spot of lunch with Anita. I might have something to eat at ths airport while waiting for my flight. Travelling is just not my thing...

I wished that I have taken an easier flight so that I could have more time to rest after checking into the hotel later. Bad planning on my part actually. At least I decided to leave on Sunday rather than Saturday evening...

IKEA

One thing I hate about IKEA was the long checkout queue. I ended up either just browsing, or go there on a morning in off. Going during weekends was a definite no no.

Idlan had been pestering me to get him some furnitures for his room. And he specifically mentioned IKEA. Reluctantly I had to go there. Since they were still in their holidays, I though going on a week might would be a stroll in the park.

Wrong.

It was packed last evening at the store, and I ended up just browsing. It also seemed that they were doing a bit of renovation. Part of the showroom were closed and the flow had to be diverted. And I felt that the number of items on show was lesser than usual. Maybe they were in the midst of changing their catalogue. Anyway, we ended up having the meatballs at the cafe after some looking around.

We had a few ideas but Idlan's room at the apartment was rather small. With the built-in cabinet and his bed and TV, fitting in a big table would be a tight squeeze. We had to get the measurement just right then.

And finally .... meatballsBack to the drawing board. But the meatballs were heavenly though.... That alone was worth the trip. ‎

Catching Up

Can't believe that apart from a couple of admissions and a bone marrow biopsy, I had a free morning. I ended up spending time watching TV at the lounge.

And there was also a drug talk for lunch. Well, enjoy it while it lasted. Clinic this afternoon.

Another Monday

A busy week it seemed to be like. Sorting out the patients for the early part of the week, followed by the trip to Kota Kinabalu, attending the Haematology Society meeting this weekend.

Looking forward to some break after quite a busy week. My flight would be on Thursday afternoon and at the rate I was going, I might be occupied all week.

My poor boys had to stay put during their holidays. The only trip they had was last week at Port Dickson. That was without me around. Anita planned to spend the weekend at Gombak while I was away. Then they would be back to school the week after.

Best to get on with work then.

Decidedly Gloomy

Sunday came along again. And while I was preparing to head out for my round - the Weekly Sunday Morning Ward Round (tm) of course - a peak outside just described my mood.

It was gloomy.

I had a couple of calls done last week. No calls until I board the plane to Kota Kinabalu and was looking forward to a bit of sunshine this weekend, maybe a quick drive to the park with the boys, drone on tow.

But the outlook not looking great. Praying the afternoon sun might come out and play. And wash the blues away. Happy weekend all!‎
